Don’t forget Customs in Montreal if you’re gonna go onto other places in Canada Allow extra time

Overhead bin space can be tricky. Pay close attention to your carryon bag size and zone number.
Verified travelerFlew with Delta-Jul 2026
If you qualify for wheelchair assistance from gate to gate, don’t hesitate to take advantage of it. That was a lifesaver since they know their way around and have the latest gate info. They are in contact with gate agents who are expecting you.

If you have TSA pre-check, everything will go fast. Use the extra time for a nice snack post-security.

Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-Apr 2026
Bring your own snack/drinks and a book.
JanineFlew with Air Canada-Feb 2026
If you’re connecting through Vancouver, allow more time than the minimum connection, especially if you’re heading onto a long-haul international flight. Weather and operational delays can happen, so build in buffer where possible. Download the airline app before you travel so you can monitor changes in real time, and keep essential items in your carry-on in case of disruption. If your itinerary involves a tight connection to an international departure, be proactive at check-in and ask about your connection status if there are delays. Having travel insurance or credit card trip protection can also provide additional peace of mind. Lastly, check terminal and gate information in advance, as Vancouver requires security and departure procedures for international connections that can take additional time.

If you think you’ll be hungry, bring food on board or eat before boarding. Don’t pay extra for a premium seat unless you want to sit toward the front of the plane. The seats are not different from one section to another. The bathroom smelled and was tight.

Ottawa, as a small airport is easiest to navigate! Overhead baggage compartments seem to be smaller, and on every flight they seem to need travellers to volunteer to put carryons in checked luggage instead.

Boarding was in time, everything was well organized and clearly follows set policies, although carry-on sizing is not appealing, offering free check to allow for more cabinet space is good. Immigration process was smooth, overall a good experience and it recommended.

FAQs for booking flights from the United States to Canada

  • Which airport should I use for James Bay?

    The closest airport to James Bay servicing flights from the US to Canada on KAYAK is Ottawa Airport. From there you will have to fly into Montreal Trudeau Airport (YUL) and then get a connecting flight to La Grande Airport (YGL) in northern Quebec, which will put you nearest to the bay.

  • Should I use US dollars in Canada?

    No, you should not use US dollars in Canada even though it may be accepted at some establishments. Canada has its own currency and therefore, it’s necessary to purchase some at one of the airports after your flight from the US to Canada arrives at its destination. The best way to exchange money is via a currency exchange service or an ATM machine.

  • How do I get to Banff National Park?

    Banff National Park is in the Canadian Rocky Mountains west of the city of Calgary in the province of Alberta. To get there, you should take a flight into Calgary Airport and arrange ground transportation from there (about 90 min by car via the Trans-Canada Highway west towards British Vancouver).

  • Which Toronto Airport is closest to the city?

    Of the three airports servicing the greater Toronto metropolitan area, Toronto Hamilton Airport is about 1h 20m by car from downtown Toronto and Toronto Pearson Airport is approximately 50 min from the city center. However, Toronto Island Airport is only about 20 min by car from the downtown area and is therefore closest.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from the United States to Canada?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from the United States to Canada.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket from the United States to Canada?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a flight from the United States to Canada is likely to change within 7 days, so travellers know whether to wait or book now.

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from the United States to Canada?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional return ticket. You could then fly from the United States to Canada with an airline and back with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from the United States to Canada?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying from the United States to Canada up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

  • What is the cheapest day to fly to Canada?

    Based on KAYAK data, the cheapest day to fly to Canada is Friday when return tickets can be as cheap as ₹ 44,234. On the other hand, the most expensive day to fly is Sunday, when return prices are ₹ 114,781 on average.

Top tips for finding a cheap flight out of the United States

  • US citizens need nothing more than a valid passport, credit card and email address in order to enter Canada. Foreign nationals of the British Commonwealth may also not require a visa but all others intending to take a flight from the US to Canada should check whether or not one is required.
  • The Canadian province of Ontario shares more boundary with its southern neighbor than any other and has four international airports accepting flights from the United States. One of them is in the Canadian capital Ottawa (Macdonald-Cartier Airport -YOW) and three are in Toronto: Toronto Hamilton (YHM), Toronto Pearson (YYZ) and Toronto Island (YTZ).
  • British Columbia marks the Pacific coast of mainland Canada and its main international airport, Vancouver Airport (YVR), is the major point of entry to the province as well as the Yukon region to the north. It is also the hub for all US flights from Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO) and Seattle (SEA).
  • Calgary Airport (YYC) serves the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan to the east and there are nonstop flights from Denver Airport (DEN) via Frontier Airways. If you’re planning on visiting the Northwest Territories to the north, then its best to get a connecting flight to Fort McMurray Airport (YMM) or Yellowknife Airport (YZF).
  • Quebec is the largest province on the Canadian east coast. If you fly into Ottawa Airport, then you are a short drive from the major cities of Montreal and Quebec City, which in turn open up the provinces of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, the eastern boundaries of Canada.

A few improvements: 1. No signages at the airport that the porter airline was a codeshare and i could check-in at American counter. 2. Crew at the gate said they couldn't change my reward to Alaska - despite that being done previously 3. Despite there being many open seats, i was assigned a seat at the very back near lavatory, last row. Fortunately, the pilot wanted more people moved up so the flight attendants moved me up. It seemed very odd to have been stuck in last row with very few people nearby..

The flight booking code given by Kayak was not the correct one used by the airline. I had to call to get the correct one. It was never sent to me. Totally unacceptable!

Much roomer than air Canada! Great flight for the price. No complaints

As a first time flyer with Porter I was happy with the service and comfort of the airline.

Other than wifi no on board entertainment. Will use them again, roomier seats than other airlines and snacks and beverages, better than average

I like it, but the food isn't good. They need to offer more simple things. This bowls that have so many things your don't know what your are eating. The milenials like it, no the rest. And last but not least, they allowed somebody have a huge dog, vey agressive and fidgety in the flight. That's horrible. No animals should be allowed inside the airplane, what about allergies, etc

The flight was half empty yet they charged me $50 for a basic carry on! I saw how passengers of different colors were treated differently.

There was a 5 hour delay. Missed connection and now an almost 21 hour lay over!

Three hours on the tarmac with almost zero communication from the cockpit. Not when offered a water in the interim. In my 67 years of flying all over the world the worst experience ever. The plane was half empty, however had to pay for seats to sit next to my girlfriend. Extra to take a carry on. I would never fly Porter again even for free.

Flight was delayed over 2 hours, then landed at a different airport!

I enjoyed it, again I believe air Canada has better seating options and better drink options

Upset about cancel to St. John’s and no overnight accomodation

1. Everything was satisfactory concerning the flight. 2. Can't think of what could be better right now.

The kid in the middle seat kicked me almost the whole flight, almost kicked my hot tea off my tray. The flight was delayed due to the first plane not being able to be de-iced in July! We had to get a new plane. Now I drive 3 hours back to Edmonton because direct flights from PVR were way to expensive

Excellent communication from the staff. We actually arrived early. Very friendly and professional staff.

The entertainment they offer could use some games, and maybe they could add some cookies to the snack menu. And the automated messages are a bit repetitive. But it was comfortable temperature wise and the seats were comfortable. The crew is very polite and helpful

I felt scammed. The priced advertised was different than what I paid. I paid the whole some online. I then got a call 20 minutes later saying I need to paid 70 more person. She said the price online is not the guaranteed price.

Some crew were unfriendly or in some cases just straight up rude.

Putting people that close to the bathroom, where you have to look into the bathroom as people are exiting and entering was not great and the smell was also not great. I know the airlines are desperate for more chairs, but that seat is a crime.

one staffer was frustrated (it happen); the flight was late and the pilot mentioned they'll make amend but the snacks were the same, other than that the aircraft was clean and everything went smooth, no complaints

Our flight was delayed 3x and we were unaware until 15min of arriving at the airport so had we been made aware sooner we could have enjoyed possibly another 4hrs poolside. Very frustrating. Made the next day going back to work extremely tough too.

It was ok. Jet was ok but it lacked many convinces we have experienced on other airlines such as in seat entertainment. Space seamed more compact than other airlines. They did not provide the gate to gate assistance we arranged for for our mom who needed a wheel chair.

Due to delays at SFO, my WestJet light missed its connecting WestJet flight. If they had held the plane in Calgary for 15 minutes, 2 families with children would not have been stranded in Calgary for more than 24 hours. I understand the need to be on-time, but when it is the same company, you would think they could make a phone call. Or maybe they could go to a higher altitude to make up for lost time? Instead of attempting to put us on another flight, they rescheduled us for the same connecting flight 24 hours later. We then had to scramble to find a hotel, which they state that they were not responsible for since the delay was not their fault and therefore became an additional out of pocket expense for us. The customer service is severely lacking here at this company. They also mentioned that if we purchased our tickets through a 3rd party site (Kayak) versus WestJet directly, that they couldn't help us. Seriously?? Additionally, we lost 2 days of travel and missed out on tours and taxis that were pre-booked. I will not be using WestJet again,

This airline would not refund my money and I had a physician note that I could not fly. They are crooks

Westjet was late and we missed our connecting flight with Cathay. Had to wait 8 hours. Westjet only allows 1 checked in baggage for international flights- it’s always been 2. Canada allows only 1 sandwhich bag size full off small liquids. Everything else will be tossed. Awful trip. Will never fly west jet or go to Toronto to connect flights!

No pre boarding kiosk to check in, baggage claim detected luggage didn’t leave the airport, poorly managed recovery of lost luggage, and blame lost tag from conveyor to TSA/security, very poor from TSA/security check to delivery, crucial if compensation will go thru and will likely wait for months unlike United,

Flight was good, crew was excellent. No complaints at all

Delayed 3 times in a row for 4 hours total. Incrementally pushing back the flight claiming gate delays but they eventually changed the actual plane, due to technical issues. This strategy to avoid compensation to passengers is unprofessional.

Plane seating was uncomfortable, very tight fitting for someone my height, did not recline and overall un enjoyable

Everything was good except for flight delay, but it was because of the snow storm in the arrival airport.

Boarding was delayed 50 minutes. The flight going to Chicago was canceled, causing lots of problems and causing me to rebook and miss an event. I was traveling with a colleague, and he was unable to get on the same flight after 40 minutes on the phone, which meant I had to wait for him after my arrival. My flight down was delayed an hour before take off, had to sit on the plane, then 30 minutes after landing to get to a gate. No real food, only juice/ water offered for the 3.5 hours on the plane. Not a good experience.

Warning- Air Canada makes it almost impossible to get a refund if a flight is cancelled. My flight was cancelled due to a damaged plane. This airline then rebooked me for a later flight. I went on line and tried to navigate their site to rebook to another within my original itinerary and I had thought I had changed it the first time, but since their site is nothing like our sites here in the states, you had to closely look for the links to complete the process. Then came the other problem. Trying to get a $45 refund on check in baggage, that I had paid for one day in advance. I tried calling the airline's customer service. They stated they are unable to process refunds for this. They then referred me to an on line site. This site required you to answer a multitude of drop down questions that are not applicable to a simple flight cancelation. Then right when I think I am done, it asks for an "incident number". I then eventually fly into Vancouver BC International Airport and speak to 3 Air Canada employees. They then tell me they cannot refund me my check in bagge fee. Once again, they refer me to this ridiculous site . They then give me a code to list and tell me to use the airport code, plus the letters AC followed by the flight # to list as an incident #. I tried this and guess what, it failed. Kayak, if you're listening. Something is very ethically wrong with Air Canada's refund process, especially when one of their planes is damaged and a flight is canceled. I have flown for many years, every week for a long time period with many airlines. Please post this so the public can see this accurate assessment of their airline customer service failure.

There should be a visible sign of Air Canada, because I walked all around and I didn't notice where was the desk, I was in a rush for the time because it was very difficult for me to find the D gate.

Older interior meant less luggage storage space. Service was good. I was in business class. I receive better service from other carriers

Check-in was a nightmare. Wouldn’t let us board with our dog even though he has flown on anir Canada before. Only one of us could go. Will never fly them again.

Flight got cancelled and didn't get another flight til late and almost missed the connection because so close. We are still waiting for the bags to arrive the next day.

Great, the item that impressed us. The most was the fact that some of us were gonna have a tight connection and the crew invited those people with the tight connection to stand up and leave the plane early. Great idea and it worked for us

Overpriced. Exploitative price gouging. Appreciated getting bumped up to a seat with more leg room though.

Announcements were unintelligible. Entertainment system was non-existent. Ground crew kept changing story for flight delay.

All went smoothly from Miami to Montreal from boarding to arriving to Montreal. Flight left on time and arrived on time.

Comfy and timely flight thanks to Cathay to all crew and the captain for our smooth landing.. above all thank You Lord for our Safe flight ❤️🙌🙏🏽

Flight took additional prep time since plane came from Mexico, which resultrd in boarding and plane prep being delayed for additional cleaning procedures. Once boarded, plane tire was identified as being low on air and needed to be replaced, which creared the need to deboard and further delays for what was already a late night flight. Would have expected a better scheduled turn around and prep buffer that would have not created that degree of delay and deboarding

Very cold on board it was like having 16hours sitting in a fridge

My luggage was lost at some point during my layover between Chicago and LHR. I landed Tuesday morning, and did not get it until Thursday night. Ironically, the people at the ticket desk had added a “priority” sticker to my tracking tag.

Flight was late and boarding was confusing because gate changed and I didn’t get a notification

Was a normal flight but it was delayed, and there wasn't an explanation.

Boarding was disorganized and delayed because they overbooked and wanted people to give up seats then further delayed due to an issue with the plane. They did not load my bag and it took a day for them to return it. Flight attendant was lovely and the only positive thing about this trip.

a321 business class not up to transcontinental & international flight standards

BA is now my preferred way to travel. On ground staff in Canada, London and Nairobi were patient , polite and helpful with our group. On board staff went that extra mile to make sure we felt important. Best of all, no lost luggage! Highly recommend BA in fact have 2 more long hauls with them this year.

I rarely vote ‘Excellent’ but this AA flight out of LGA was amazing. On time departure, early arrival, amazing crew, smooth flight, baggage came out quickly. It was the best airport/ flight experience that anyone could ask for/dream of. Highly recommend. I usually fly Delta but American Airlines really stepped up their game.
